ROME (Reuters) – Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Thursday blamed media outlets for calling the graft scandal at the European Parliament an “Italian job,” and said it should rather be called a “Socialist job,” as members of that party are involved.
“The affair does not only concern Italians … it is not just an Italian issue, but a party issue, perhaps a ‘Socialist job,'” the rightist premier – who also heads the European Conservatives and Reformists party – told a news conference.
